Anyone around when the Jungle was massive in the UK?

Ruffff. You should cross post this in the rave thread 🙌

The new album from Dom is as filthy as you'd expect 🔥🔥🔥

Whoever makes these vids always shouts me (and other more worthy trainspotters) in the description. Probably scouring other forums - DOA, RDB, Discogs - but nice to see one I definitely first recognised in the Pink Floyd sample on number 10, Journey to the Unknown. That was two worlds colliding for me. Absolutely prime jungle and 90s post-Waters PF. Who’d a thunk it?

Anyway, every single Intense tune is essential. Probably the most consistent artists I can think of. No bad tracks - no ok tracks, even. All incredible.

Great looking package here and a lot of bang for your buck.

Picked this up for a few quid on a random stroll today around Ramsgate (at Vinyl Head).

Ruff, tuff and dark with the Menace II Society sample. This sort of stuff used to shell Fabric on a Friday night.

I think I need to get this on vinyl. We used to rinse the CD at university.

Comes like a ‘Elicopter remix

Check the absolute rolling tuffness

Can’t wait to put that it in a mix with the above and this:

Awesome thanks for letting me know. Listening now.

Picked up a secret banger

Did anyone spend £100 on the RSD Wormhole release?

I've got the original, I'm skint, my decks are in my twins' bedroom (without headshells and Shure cartridges - learnt my lesson) and I didn't find out about it until it was sold out, but I probably would have bought it

Ha. I pulled out the OG press and listened to it when I heard about it. I couldn’t even find it available anywhere. Probably would’ve impulsively bought it and not regretted.

I bought a box of water damaged records a few months ago, I got as far as cataloguing them but not cleaning them up. There were quite a few Ed Rush & Optical records amongst them. I should really clean them up and give them a spin.

Someone nicked my medicine remix back in 1999 or so, happy to take that off your hands if it's in there!

Catching up love the posts on this page
The pledge oooof not heard that b4 heavy. All of the above ooooof

They need a really good clean though and the sleeves are buggered.

Skanna - This Way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgz5zYVVjS0

Another find from the long lost Mixup pile o' tapes.

Huge 12”!

I’m not sure why, but I have a mental connection between Skanna tunes and this darkside BANGER!

Think it must be cos both tunes on here: https://www.discogs.com/release/107191-Various-Hardleaders-5-Jungle-Dub

Skanna (John Graham) is still producing, but it's mostly trance and prog house stuff under Quivver. https://www.discogs.com/artist/4261-Skanna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T4ttHTdvCI

It contains "Flat 47 – No Man's Land" not Hideaway?

My bad. It’s the prior comp (which also has some different Skanna on it, inc from same ep) https://www.discogs.com/master/99715-Various-Hard-Leaders-4-Into-The-Jungle
